The Lost Thorn is another surprise I’ve got from LibraryThing early reviewer / membership giveaway program.

In this book, the author chooses to mix many different ideas; ideas you don’t normally find in the same science-fiction book.

So : science-fiction + dystopia (until here, that’s fine) + magic.

Yeah, magic 🙂 and the end result is quite good! The story is build around the sorcery and it also explained the “dystopia context” that we have in the book. The characters are interesting and distinct. Sam is my favorite and I’ve appreciated how the author choose to describe her drug addiction (mini spoiler…).

My only negative point, and some people may disagree, is the size of the novel which is too small in my opinion. I would have taken an additional 100 pages without any problem. More details, more background, etc…
But I will forgive the author gladly if I can get a sequel. 🙂

If you got a free certificate using letencrypt-nosudo and you need to renew your certificate, you probably checked github and the readme to know which steps you need to go through.

It’s not said explicitly but updating your certificate is the same way than asking a new one. You just have to skip the steps where you create your private key and domain’s csr.

So, in another words, you just have to run the following command in the folder where you have the letencrypt-nosudo client :
$> python sign_csr.py –public-key your_user.pub your_domain.csr > your_updated_signed.crt
Replace your_user.pub and your_domain.csr by what you already have. Also, if you are on manjaro (or archlinux) like me, use python2 instead of python.
